      A remaster like this is pointless in the first place, it’s not meaningfully doing anything to make people play it who wouldn’t otherwise. A proper Nightdive-style remake is what the game deserves.

            The fan mods aren’t exactly accessible to PlayStation players. What would you want to see in a Deus Ex remaster that a mod couldn’t do? Mods are capable of a great deal, but there’s a lot of value to having things preconfigured to modern standards out of the box.

              I mean, some production value beyond upscaling would be a start. Deus Ex isn’t some forgotten brand, it definitely warrants something like the System Shock remakes. High poly models, remastered animations, and modern lighting effects would be a reason to actually purchase this over the original.

          I guess that’s probably fair. I never had huge issues with them but it’s been a hot minute since I last played through.

      it’s SO bad, I don’t see any reason for it to exist when the game already plays great on PC (with the Vanilla Fixer), and it also runs on PS5 with the PS2 version

      I don’t think I’ve ever seen a remaster that looks this much worse than the original

        The PS2 version is surely severely compromised compared to the PC version. Even the sequel designed with the Xbox in mind had to cut back on a lot of things to make it fit on a more powerful console.

      It looks more like an upscale than a full remaster, but it can definitely look better yea

      I’ve never played the original. But the remaster has me tempted. Idk, it looks good to me.

    I think the only item that interested me was that I can play Alan Wake 2 next month for “free”.
